She has built your memories out of lies, Screamed at you countless times, And for every hurt she causes you, tells you it is your own fault You were raised to be co-dependant, and then punished for not being independant You burn books out of frustration and shut out the world because you've been "taught" how much more dangerous it is than your own cage of a house This fire she continues to twist around you, Igniting unprovoked anger, Because you dared to bend a rule she breaks every day, Lighting up the trail of gas and burning your memory away, She birthed you to be her puppet, and when you wiped the half-done paint job away she tortured you into submission, For all the lies she forces you to listen Maybe we've solved the puzzle of her constant lies, but it doesn't matter. she doesn't matter, but you do. And I tell you now, You won't have to listen to her lies forever.
